    Brand new mavic owner... already crashed it.

    I agree, that plasticine stuff sets like rock, but he can mould in a nice repair. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Beware of RTC

    Maybe I should practice in case I need to grab it in the air. Obviously I'm a little wary after the Hubsan incident and the Mav props are bigger and seem sharper! Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Beware of RTC

    Nice one! Interesting experience and a story to learn from. I agree, I think the Mav is a fantastic piece of technology, and you're right, it's not a toy! I flew a cheaper drone for a bit to get some experience before deciding I would get the Mav and I'm delighted. I'll check on what things you...

    Beware of RTC

    I'm probably stating the obvious, so apologies if this is basic. Today I thought I would go into a wood with trees with a low canopy to fly along a path in between some chunky evergreens and other trees. I flew slowly, planning to speed up the video when I put something together. I flew for a...

    Mavic Wobbling in Flight and Shaking Gimbal?

    I went into the firmware update with the DJI Assistant and apart from doing a reload of the latest software I did a "reset to factory settings". There is also a downgrade to last release but I did the reload, abs factory settings reset and when I flew again it was fine, the wobble had gone...

    Mavic Wobbling in Flight and Shaking Gimbal?

    Hi. Since my post the problem has been resolved. I think it was the IMU calibration although I did the full Monty with a reload of firmware, reset to factory settings, re-calibration of the IMU and compass (several times) and I even deleted the Go 4 app and reinstalled. When I tested it again it...

    When does the nervousness wear off

    My advice is to venture a little further each time and fly higher. The more you fly the more you gain confidence. As long as you make sure you have full GPS and it tells you it's recorded it's take off point, have confidence that the RTH button will bring it home. Also make sure you're Return...

    Mavic Wobbling in Flight and Shaking Gimbal?

    The same problem has happened to my Mavic after 2 weeks. I have re-calibrated the IMU and compass and looked for a firmware upgrade but found in DJI Assistant that I had the latest release so I reloaded the same version. In hover it seems to be intermittent and almost settles down then a small...
